With Suh, Dolphins prepared to pile on the snaps

Suh is used to a high snap count, and the elite defensive tackle will see more of the same with his new team, according to defensive coordinator Kevin Coyle.

"You want the 'Big Chief’ in there when the game is on the line and as you want our starters in there when we have to make plays," Coyle said this week, via The Miami Herald. "He plays more than most defensive linemen and I anticipate his numbers will still be fairly high."

Miami has kept five defensive tackles on its roster, including fellow starter Earl Mitchell. While the high number of tackles hints that the Dolphins will keep a steady rotation going, the team appears committed to giving its $114 million man all the work he can handle.
